Peaceful and quaint, it's a storybook cottage with a happy ending. Fully equipped, WiFi and all, you have two sitting areas to choose from, a double bedroom, bath/shower and kitchen. And you're in a quiet corner, hidden away below Capileira village square, perfectly located for shops, café-bars, restaurants and hiking trails.

The house's Alpujarra architecture, with plenty of wood, makes it winsome and idiosyncratic. The old chestnut beam-and-slate ceilings are unique within Andalucia and hark back to earlier centuries when the Berbers of North Africa lived here. These days, it's a comfortable, well-equipped holiday home.
It's a complete, independent cottage and so all yours.
We'll be there welcome you, leave you with the key and simply be on hand if you need anything. My sister lives further down in the village and I am nearby also.

The house is located just below the village square, where it's nice and quiet but conveniently close to shops, cafés, bars, restaurants, baker's, bank, pharmacy, craft shops and parking. The neighbours are respectable village folk.
There are three buses a day (every day) between Granada and Capileira. Hiring a car will enable you to get there more conveniently and explore with greater freedom. Parking is free everywhere in the village.
Capileira is the second highest village in Spain. The walking in this mountain area is wonderful and combines perfectly with well-priced local restaurants and café-bar terraces.

This is a lovely little cottage in picturesque Capileira and perfect for exploring the Sierra Nevada. This is also the first house that I've been to which has full on tree trunks as beams. Guy was a fantastic host and did everything possible help us have a great time. Although we never met in person, Guy's sister picked us up from the bus stop, showed us the house and the highlights of the services in the village. Guy was always available on the phone and ready to accommodate us when we arrived early

Sometimes you see a beautiful cottage in a brochure / website and you say it’s too good to be true and inevitably it turns out to not be what you wished for. Well El Gato Negro is the direct opposite. It was an unforgettable experience. The cottage has everything you want but also it is as quaint as you see in the brochure and much more comfortable than you can imagine. Also it is so well located that you can roll down the hill after a wonderful night of food & drink in the Square. Kieran & Aine Like Arnie – “We’ll be back”

Very welcoming. Wonderful location for walking or relaxing. Peaceful. We intend to return like others before us.

A really special place to stay. This is the cutest little cottage in a beautiful village a million miles from the rest of the world. The host were easy and welcoming and the place was maintained really well. We loved our stay and would certainly recommend it to friends.

A two bed apartment located in the picture-postcard community of Capileira, one of the highest villages in Spain. Facing south you can enjoy the unspeakable beauty of the landscape.

Apartamento Mirador is a two bed apartment located in the picture-postcard community of Capileira, one of the highest villages in Spain. Facing south you can enjoy the unspeakable beauty of the landscape with goats grazing early in the morning to eagles soaring as the sun sets on the cordillera. The Alpujarra is amazing. Even as shadows lengthen, one by one the village houses flicker into existence until finally all those present answer the twinkling roll-call and the mountainside reflects the starry sky. In keeping with the national park status of the area the apartment, although recently built, maintains a traditional exterior. And if you can drag yourself away from the terrace vistas you'll find yourself in a modern home, well equipped for comfortable living through the diverse seasons which make these Spanish mountains such a special place to stay.The views from the balcony are stunning.
The community has private parking, a swimming pool is open to guests in July and August and a barbecue area can be used throughout the year.

The highest village in Spain may also be one of the prettiest.
On a clear day, you can see the Mediterranean below and beyond the Rif Mountains of Morocco. And above the highest peaks of the Sierras and Mulhacen highest mountain in Spain. The air here is clean and fresh. The hills are covered in grasses and wild flowers. A large variety of trees growing locally - cherries, almonds, walnuts - paint spring with clouds of coloured blossoms. Teetering terraces won with hard labour produce beans, potatoes, sweetcorn, artichokes and garlic with a backdrop of white washed walls, flat roofs of gritty, dark sand and tall chimney-pots like toadstools. The streets are narrow, cobbled and overhung with small terraces filled with pots full of flowers. An enchanting maze of ancient dwellings with, cats and geraniums, hens and goats, nooks and crannies, fountains, and sudden, dramatic views - down the valley to Bubión and Pampaneira.
It is only when the sun goes down that you meet the architects of this wizardry, at the dusk stroll or el paseo. In the rich orange sunset, elderly ladies with shawls and men with flat caps gather to walk and talk. There is something earthy about these people. They chatter and socialise in loud melodic tones repossessing the villages, reminding everyone that they are the founders of this society. As the light fades, low-flying bats circle invisible insects and sweet culinary smells entice hungry patrons indoors.
And the restaurants and bars begin to fill.
You can use the public bus system which connects to Granada three times daily however a car is recommended.

View is great, just as advertised. Flats is relatively spacious. Capileira isn't big so it is easy to get everywhere. No wifi but I did manage to pick up a weak mobile data signal from the flat. The host sent a relative to meet us with the keys. The parking spaces have a bump so park very carefully if you are not driving a high clearance vehicle.

Wonderful apartment in a wonderful village. The view is even better than suggested in the photos, the village is a dream, the area around wonderful and a blissful release from the heat of the plains in July. The apartment is super well fitted out, great kitchen, all is good. We are already plotting our return.

We had 2 nights in Capileira so we could do some hiking in the Sierra Nevada and we just loved it. Communication, arrival, and apartment ammenities are perfect. Most of all we loved the view and loved to sit on the terrace and listen to the goats down the valley - we wished we had stayed longer

We really enjoyed our stay. Fantastic view, as advertised. Very close to everything. Easy and flexible check in and check out process. Only down side was that the shower ran out of hot water very quickly.

We followed their clear directions for arrival, which involved calling someone on the way into town, and she was waiting for us at the gate as expected. The place has amazing views!!! So beautiful. It's located at the entrance to town and has a path to the next town over, Bubión. Very convenient and comfortable living and sleeping spaces. One thing I hope they improve is that we found ants in the bedroom. The first night, a couple found their way into the bed and bit me in the night. The second night, we had a little bit of sealed trail mix on the night stand, so I'm sure that is what attracted them at that point - so just keep all food contained and sealed as best as possible and hopefully others will not encounter this. We also had a coordination issue in returning the keys, but hopefully the phone issues are fixed. We would stay there again.

The apartment was exactly as described and in a perfect location for us with great views. Alberto was very friendly and prompt in coming to meet us, and explained everything in good English. We had no problems and would recommend this apartment in Capileira to others who want to be central to all the shops and cafes/bars.

We were very impressed by the cleanliness and good condition of the apartment. The view from the main bedroom, lounge, kitchen and deck is magnificent. Nice to have the deck accessible from the bedroom and lounge. Great pellet heating system (free) and the ability to have a fire (8E cost for wood). All combined makes a perfect mountain trip! Alberto also gave good advice about the village as well as providing the location of the best bakery I've come across in Spain. The bread is incredible. Thank you to the owner and Alberto! We would love to come back again and again.

We were welcomed at the bus stop and taken to the house. Alberto provided lots of helpful advice. The house is lovely with a stunning view of the valley. Capileira is a beautiful village on the hillside with picturesque houses and views. It is very popular with hikers too. We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights and could easily stay longer. We highly recommend the town and the house.

This was a lovely and comfortable house with a beautiful view of the mountains from the terrace. The sun warms the apartment during the day while the effective heater and/or fireplace warms the apartment during the evening. The house had everything we needed, including a crib for our baby. Alberto was helpful and friendly, and he communicated regularly with us. Jose (the Spanish speaking owner) also came by to see that we had everything we needed. Capiliera is a nice village with good restaurants, a supermarket, a bakery, and several hiking trails. We would definitely recommend this apartment and village!

Apartment is very beautiful and comfortable, feel like home. Pepe greeted us with home made delicious food. Have some trouble communicating because we don't know Spanish. Pepe think that we have 4 person to live in the apartment but actually we have only 3. Our other friend is staying at some other apartment. 公寓很漂亮很精致,在房东的楼上。房东做了好吃的糕点给我们。非常舒适,像在家里一样。就是我们不懂西语,房东不懂英语,因此无法沟通。我们三个人住,还有个朋友住在另外的公寓,房东看到我们有四个人,以为我们住了四个人,其实不是的。 除此之外都很好,推荐。

Capileira is a beautiful old protected village located in the region of the Alpujarra, on the Sierra Nevada, at 1480m. of altitude, 70 kms. from Granada. It is the starting point for great hiking on the mountains.
The house has all comforts.

The house is in the typical Alpujarra style, very nice, peaceful and cosy, all comforts, with a chimney and a large terrace with view on the mountains and the valley.
I live abroad. A local lady will receive you and provide assistance. Her address will be communicated on approval of reservation.

Capileira is a wonderful village and the house is just at the exit so we walk easily to the village and the commodities. Its also very very quiet with a nice view on the mountain (wonderful walking-trekking to make. Mulhacen is not far). The house is simple but confortable.

Reme's place was absolutely wonderful. We were so glad to be able to stay at this quaint little abode. We booked absolute last minute and Reme was so flexible with meeting and check out arrangements. The bathrooms and kitchen were great and the beds were very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer.
